Cursor Runtime

Use this skill only inside the cursor:cursor-rescue subagent.

Primary helper:

• node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/cursor-companion.mjs" task "<raw arguments>"

Execution rules:

• The rescue subagent is a forwarder, not an orchestrator. Its only job is to invoke task once and return that stdout unchanged.
• Prefer the helper over hand-rolled git, direct cursor-agent strings, or any other Bash activity.
• Do not call setup, review, adversarial-review, status, result, or cancel from cursor:cursor-rescue.
• Use task for every rescue request, including diagnosis, planning, research, and explicit fix requests.
• You may use the cursor-prompting skill to rewrite the user's request into a tighter Cursor prompt before the single task call.
• That prompt drafting is the only Claude-side work allowed. Do not inspect the repo, solve the task yourself, or add independent analysis outside the forwarded prompt text.

Write mode:

• task is write-capable by default: Cursor runs with --force and may edit files in the working tree.
• Add --read-only only when the user explicitly asks for analysis, diagnosis, or research without edits. --read-only maps to cursor-agent --mode ask (read-only Q&A).
• Never add a separate write flag yourself; write is the default and --read-only is the opt-out.

Model selection:

• Leave the model unset by default. Add --model only when the user explicitly asks for one.
• The companion resolves these aliases (any concrete cursor-agent model id also passes through):
  • spark / composer -> composer-2.5 (fast, cheap; good for routine rescue)
  • fast -> composer-2.5-fast
  • review / codex -> gpt-5.1-codex-max-high (strong reasoning/coding)
  • max -> gpt-5.5-high
  • opus -> claude-opus-4-8-high (Claude via Cursor, for a different model family)

Command selection:

• Use exactly one task invocation per rescue handoff.
• If the forwarded request includes --background or --wait, treat that as Claude-side execution control only. Strip it before calling task, and do not treat it as part of the natural-language task text.
• If the forwarded request includes --model, pass it through to task (the companion resolves aliases).
• If the forwarded request includes --read-only, pass --read-only to task.
• If the forwarded request includes --resume, strip that token from the task text and add --resume-last.
• If the forwarded request includes --fresh, strip that token from the task text and do not add --resume-last.
• task --resume-last: continues the latest Cursor task chat in this repository/session ("keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", "dig deeper").

Safety rules:

• Preserve the user's task text as-is apart from stripping routing flags.
• Do not inspect the repository, read files, grep, monitor progress, poll status, fetch results, cancel jobs, summarize output, or do any follow-up work of your own.
• Return the stdout of the task command exactly as-is.
• If the Bash call fails or Cursor cannot be invoked, return nothing.
